Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 1022 "Breakthrough" Opportunity

We agreed that we, as husband and wife, would trust each other. But you don't believe me anymore. Fine, I'll just pretend. I won't eat. I'll drink the soup first. What can you do about it?

Seeing Zhou Banxia raising her eyebrows and giving him a provocative look as she drank her soup, Gu Wenxuan couldn't help but laugh and cry as he admitted defeat. No, he was trying to coax his wife into eating some noodles.

Although soup is nutritious, you'll be hungry by tomorrow morning. It's not good to lose weight again before a month has passed, especially since you've finally gained some weight.

Zhou Banxia was unaware that someone's secret thoughts were completely at odds with her weight loss plan. After finishing her late-night snack, it was time for the child to wake up.

Since it's not daytime, at night the child only needs to wake up, have his diaper changed, and be fed before he falls asleep again. He doesn't recognize anyone and just sleeps soundly.

With two wet nurses, two head nurses, and a head maid taking turns to watch over the child for twelve hours a day, there was no need to worry about the child's safety.

Gu Wenxuan, who was still reluctant to leave his son, pulled him back to his room. It seemed like it was getting late, but it was only past Hai Shi (9:30 PM) and not even 9:30 yet.

One of them slept too much during the day, and the other was used to being a night owl. After the couple returned to their room, Gu Wenxuan said that he couldn't possibly fall asleep right away.

Knowing that Zhou Banxia was used to being free, being confined at home for such a long time without getting any fresh air would likely lead to postpartum depression and a bad mood.

When it was time to go to bed, he would cover for his wife by getting into bed, drawing the bed curtains, and immediately giving her a legitimate opportunity to "get some fresh air".

Of course, this is on the condition that he comes along.

You definitely can't dry yourself when taking a bath or washing your hair.

Similar customs should be believed to be useful, rather than being done arbitrarily for momentary pleasure. After all, Easterners and Westerners have different physical constitutions, so why blindly worship foreign things?

瞅！
The moment he used the phrase "worshiping foreign things and fawning on foreigners," his patriotic and angry wife immediately turned her head away and refused to go to the bathroom.

It's been a while since I've been to the villa. The master bedroom is fine, but once I leave the master bedroom, I notice that a lot of things are missing. I remember there were boxes in front of the elevator the last time I came in.

"No," Zhou Banxia denied immediately. "You must have remembered wrong, or you're just too busy and forgot when you moved out."

How can it be!

I absolutely cannot forget this.

To be honest, he did it intentionally, knowing that his wife was heavily pregnant and had sneaked in, and that she wouldn't be able to use the stairs when going up or down.

Although it's still impossible to completely prevent, as long as the wife touches him, it won't stop her from sneaking in alone and running around in the elevator. But who is he?

He was the person who knew his wife best in the world; there was no one else who did. Regardless of whether putting the box on the table was useful or not, his wife would still pay close attention.

During the operation, seeing the box naturally reminded him of his concern that it was unsafe for her to walk around alone inside, so he had some reservations. But what about the box?
"..."

Can I say that when I wanted to move some things out, there weren't enough wooden crates inside, and the cardboard boxes were too difficult to take out, so I had to use the wooden crates to pack things?
Miscalculation!

Why bring him in tonight? It would have been better to wait a few more days. Once a month has passed, we can move him back to the main room and retrieve the wooden box from the secret room.

"Never mind, I guess I was just busy and forgot." I won't make things difficult for you. Look at how your eyes are darting around, silly wife. "You're going to the first floor, right?" Can you please tone down your expression? You're asking a question you already know the answer to. Otherwise, why are you going this way? Zhou Banxia finally burst out laughing.

"You've admitted it without being asked, haven't you?"

"Yes, yes, it's not that you have a bad memory, it's just that I used it to store things. I'll definitely put it back for you after I finish my postpartum confinement. Would you please come downstairs with me first?"

Gu Wenxuan gave her a speechless sideways glance, raised his hand to press the elevator button, and said, "Just as I expected, you were prepared to leave me alone before you gave birth."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Banxia quickly wrapped her arms around his, saying, "It's not 'leaving behind,' you don't know how to use words. You're still a junior scholar, how could I bear to leave you alone?"

That's just how life is. If the child is born and you still have to raise it, I'll keep all the photos for you so you won't forget me.

If there's a next life, I'll definitely be waiting for you on the Stone of Three Incarnations. Come on, let's pinky swear and be husband and wife again in the next life, okay?

"You're all talk and no action. You scumbag! No matter how sweet your words are, they can't erase the fact that you broke your promise. You're so audacious that you even want to abandon your husband and children!"

What and what!
You're so naive!

"You'd better prepare yourself mentally. You'll never get rid of me in this life, the next life, or the life after that. I'll haunt you even as a ghost."

Zhou Banxia was truly exasperated. Before marriage, she was such a rational person, but now she's so emotional all the time. Does she think she can haunt me even after she's gone?
I'll tickle you!

"Haha... Okay, okay, I won't say anything unlucky anymore."

Zhou Banxia then withdrew her hand with satisfaction. "That's more like it. Now that no one outside can hear us, we can finally speak freely. Can I tell you something serious?"

Gu Wenxuan readily agreed to his wife's words, nodding and smiling as he said, "Yes, I am all ears. Please speak freely, my wife."

"You're being inappropriate again," Zhou Banxia said, slapping his restless hand. "Just walk properly, don't do anything like hugging or kissing!"
"I'll let you hug me when I've lost weight. Listen to me first. My dad is going to Zhoujia Village with Dajiang to meet up with them the day after tomorrow. Tell me the truth, are you going or not?"

"I have to go, it seems like I can't not go." "You've gained weight, you're just a little bit chubby and plump," Gu Wenxuan said, taking advantage of her unpreparedness to pick her up and weigh her in his arms. Without even taking a breath, he continued to explain, "Besides going to Zhoujia Village, I also have to see Uncle Cheng."

Zhou Banxia quickly wrapped her arms around his neck, looking at him with confusion, "Uncle Cheng wants to see you? I didn't hear you mention it. Or does your uncle want you to go to Jingshan Academy soon?"

"Let me take you for a walk in the backyard first. Don't move around too much during your postpartum period, don't you know?" Gu Wenxuan immediately tightened his arms and walked quickly, but he honestly explained why he had decided to go out.

Although Master Cheng was not present at the baby's third-day celebration, there was a reason for it.

Unlike Master Cheng's "illness," Uncle Cheng was genuinely ill. Li Ge'er said he hadn't seen the headmaster for over a month.

Perhaps worried about disturbing his studies for the autumn imperial examinations, Uncle Cheng returned to his residence to recuperate for a while. Not only did Magistrate Cheng not reveal this matter, but even Senior Brother Qian never mentioned it.

Finally, Li Ge'er mentioned that he hadn't seen the headmaster at Jingshan Academy for some time, and he had gotten the news from Senior Brother Qian after school yesterday.

Senior Brother Qian instructed him to first send a steward to visit the Cheng residence, and then personally travel to the prefectural city to pay respects to his grand-uncle after the autumn examinations, assuring him that his grand-uncle would not take offense.

But now that the master is not at home, and Dajiang's schedule cannot be delayed, shouldn't he, as the first disciple, take the initiative to visit his grandmaster in person as soon as possible?
